EHG5952 - Walkover survey - Woodland creation scheme, Waternish

An archaeological desk based assessment and walkover survey were carried out by West Coast Archaeological Services in 2022 in advance of a proposed woodland creation scheme focused on Waternish Farm, Isle of Skye. The walkover survey recorded 15 archaeological sites comprising 17 individual features which included stone and turf dykes forming field systems, two stone cellular structures, two buildings, field clearance, and areas of rig and furrow cultivation; all of which are probably post-medieval in date. A short section of intermittent boulder dyke is probably prehistoric in age. Recommendations were made to safeguard the recorded features. <1>
